Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

simply superb. Vineyard peaches, wildflower honey, ripe apples, papaya, and mango, with a definite nod towards a 30-year-old Sauternes (like 1st Cru Classé Lafaurie Peyraguey, same owners as Glenturret) before shifting to soft pine, sweet resins, sugared vegetables, and a lovely orange sauce (the kind you'd serve with duck, naturally). It’s a wonderfully ‘gastronomic’ nose, which will surprise no one

restaurant Palate

a perfect reflection of the nose, but with more oomph than expected. Honey, wax, peaches, apricots, sultanas, and little cinnamon biscuits. That faint pine bud note is still present, along with a touch of liquorice wood

timer Finish

not overly long but well-balanced by citrus and orange blossom. A delightful honeyed aftertaste lingers
